  • Page 34 • Insert the module into the slot making sure that the edges are in the guides. Do not force the Power Supply Module into the chassis unnecessarily. The module should slide in easily. • Slide the Power Supply Module into the chassis until the front panel is flush and even with the chassis.
  • Page 35: Link Loss Carry Forward (Llcf)

    Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) The “twister” modules (with the exception of the 10Mbps BNC and TELCO modules) have been designed with an LLCF function for troubleshooting a remote connection. The modules are shipped with the LLCF disabled. When LLCF is enabled, the FX ports as well as the TX ports on the “twister” modules, do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
